The corporation officials said the proposal has been broadly prepared under two different strategic components - area-based development and pan-city development. Under the first head, an area of 570 acres has been identified near Hindon river for retrofitting, in which infrastructure facilities will be developed. An intelligent traffic system has been envisaged for the entire city under pan-city development.

"A software technology park has been envisaged to be built under area-based development, which also includes a range of infrastructure works. The intelligent traffic system has been mooted on the lines of European cities, which includes smart street lighting, a system for load calculation on roads, a state-of-the-art traffic control room to keep track of vehicular movements," said an official.
